Hyper Light Breaker, a new 3D indie platformer we reported on previously has finally launched to early access on Steam, and despite the surprising success of its predecessors, Hyper Light Drifter and Solar Ash, Hyper Light Breaker isn’t looking like the break-out indie hit of the month. While the game has garnered a solid 5,230 peak concurrent players just five hours after launch, the Steam reviews are hardly anything to write home about so far.

According to SteamDB, Hyper Light Breaker has a review rating of just 35.5%, with 31.4% of the reviews giving the game a positive rating, while 68.6% of Steam reviewers gave it a negative score. Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, it looks like most of the issues with Hyper Light Breaker stem from the game’s early access status. Early reviews on Steam report that the game’s core mechanics and gameplay loop are satisfying, but that the game, overall, seems like it needs more time in the oven. Some of the more serious complaints when it comes to Hyper Light Breaker relate to the game’s combat being somewhat difficult to grasp, progression feeling unsubstantial, initial difficulty being too high, and a steep learning curve. Others pointed out that there appears to be a lot of missing content. That said, as some reviewers have pointed out, the game is in early access. If we look at the likes of Windblown—or No Man’s Sky for an example on a longer timeframe—it’s easy to see the value in an early access period and community feedback. If Heart Machine, the developer behind Hyper Light Breaker, uses its community feedback properly and implements fixes to issues as they arise, it seems like it could be a game enjoyed by many indie gamers.

At CES, AMD unleashed the much awaited Ryzen AI Max “Strix Halo” APUs with mammoth iGPUs, up to a whopping 40 CUs for the Radeon 8060S. These chips are powerful enough to not require discrete graphics at all, making them ideal for mini PCs, which lack the physical room for dedicated graphics. GMK appears to be among the first to announce a mini PC with the top-end Ryzen AI Max+ 395 APU, although any further details are under wraps as of now.

Unlike the Strix Point parts, Strix Halo abandons the smaller and more efficient Zen 5c cores for a Zen 5-only setup, with up to 16 Zen 5 cores for the highest-end Ryzen AI Max+ 395 SKU. This allows for some serious performance potential, with AMD promising substantially better performance than both Intel’s Lunar Lake and Apple’s M4 Pro, although it would be much fairer to compare Strix Halo to Apple’s M4 Max, and Intel’s Arrow Lake-H/X instead. Regardless, there is no denying Strix Halo APUs open up new doors in terms of performance for compact systems, the rest remains to be seen as and when the products reach reviewers.

You’ve seen Splave on top of overclocking leaderboards, get ready to see him on PC hardware store shelves. The professional overclocker now has a line of high-end PC memory kits and power supplies in partnership with G.Skill and Enermax. The new Enermax Revolution DFX Pro 1350 W Splave Edition (the show demo was a different model as proof of concept) has a few features custom designed by him. The first one is a button that flushes all capacitors to make sure there’s no residual power left in it when the AC input is switched off. Overclockers tend to need this between resets, and even waste a few seconds waiting on their PSUs to drain, or getting their motherboards to do that job (not recommended). The PSU has individually sleeved cables that are designed to not get in the way, and make them easier to manage; and the fan is configured to turn backwards for 20 seconds, blowing air out, each time the PSU is sent an ACPI shutdown command. Next up, is the new Splave Ultra line of DDR5 PC overclocking memory by G.Skill. These kits appear to be based on the Trident Z5 CK series and the Trident Z5 Neo series. The kit shown at CES was just for representative purposes. The ones based on the Trident Z5 CK series will target Intel platforms, and the ones based on the Z5 Neo will come with EXPO profiles and will be meant for AMD platforms. Splave’s secret sauce for these modules will be in the XMP or EXPO profiles they ship with. Just to give you some idea, imagine DDR5-6000 with CAS latency of 28, out of the box.

Lastly, there’s the Splave T-1K, a first-party line of high-performance gallium-based thermal paste. To be clear, this isn’t a liquid metal TIM (although gallium is one), rather it is a silicone-based thermal grease that’s blended with gallium metal, and so it spreads and compresses just like regular thermal paste, and won’t run off. Although it has metal particles, much like pastes based on silver, the T-1K is electrically non-conductive.

Micron at the 2025 International CES showed us product that hint at the company planning a strong comeback to the client and PC-DIY market segments. The company’s Crucial brand is already a high-volume player in the client segment, but the company never really approached the enthusiast segment. Products like the company’s new T705 Pro and P510 NVMe SSDs, and DDR5 Pro Overclocking memory, seek to change this. We begin our tour with PC memory, and the DDR5 Pro OC CUDIMMs. Crucial has jumped onto the CKD bandwagon, introducing memory modules and kits that come with DDR5-6400 out of the box, but which are geared for manual overclocking to take advantage of the 1β DRAM chips underneath (hence the name).

The company also showed us their first DDR5 CSODIMM suitable for the next generation of notebooks with HX-segment processors. This module comes with a CKD and a DDR5-6400 JEDEC-standard SPD profile out of the box. Lastly, there’s the Micron-branded LPCAMM2, which comes in speeds of up to LPDDR5X-8533, and is suitable for the next generation of ultraportables.

Switching gears to client SSDs, and we have the star-attraction at the booth, the Crucial T705 Pro and T705 Limited Edition. These are NVMe Gen 5 SSDs that use the company’s cutting-edge Micron G9 NAND flash chips, and a Phison E26 Max14um controller, belting out up to 14.5 GB/s of sequential reads, and up to 12.7 GB/s of sequential writes. The drive comes 1 TB, 2 TB, and 4 TB capacities. There’s also a limited edition white heatsink variant.

Next up, is a drive which Crucial hopes will become the next MX500—a well priced mainstream SSD that strikes a high performance/dollar balance—the new P510. Launched a couple of days ago, the drive features a new revision of the Phison E31T DRAMless Gen 5 controller, and Micron’s latest G9 NAND flash, to produce up to 11 GB/s of sequential reads, and up to 8.6 GB/s of sequential writes. Crucial is aiming for volumes, and will price these drives well. The Cruial P310 is their new mass-market mainstream SSD, which is based on a Phison E27T Gen 4 controller, offering sequential transfer speeds of up to 7.1 GB/s. There’s a version with heatsink for the PlayStation 5. Micron scored several design wins with popular OEMs, and will supply these drives to power their next-gen gaming notebooks and desktops. At the very entry level is the E100, a drive targeting low-cost builds. It comes in 480 GB and 1 TB capacities, with a Gen 4 DRAMless controller paired with G7 QLC NAND. You get sequential transfers of up to 5 GB/s, and endurance of up to 100 TBW. Next up, Micron showed off a few of its enterprise products, such as the 7450 high capacity SSDs for hot data storage, which comes in capacities of up to 7.68 TB, with extremely high endurance. We also spotted the company’s new high-capacity RDIMMs, and MRDIMMs.
